A launch of the 2022 Bathurst Spring Spectacular will take place on Sunday 23rd October at Abercrombie House from 4.00pm to twilight. The launch will give the community the opportunity to thank the garden owners for opening their gardens and acknowledge their preparation in getting their gardens ready for the Bathurst Spring Spectacular.
Tickets for the launch are $30.00 per person and can be purchased by contacting Judy Bayliss by 14th October on 0409710055 or email jcbayliss@bigpond.com.
The Bathurst Spring Spectacular will be held on the weekend of, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th October. Ten (10) beautiful and diverse gardens will be open including the magnificent garden at “The Glen”.
The garden at “The Glen” commenced in 2015 as a project to enhance the garden surrounding the main homestead, and quickly became entirely out of control with the planting of more than 6,000 plants over a period of four years. The Garden at “The Glen” is an area of approximately four acres with formal and informal plantings and multiple sculptures. It is surrounded by the natural beauty of roughly 400 acres of undulating bushland purchased by Simon and Jayne Beverly in the winter of 2014.
Despite rocky terrain the landscaping has incorporated deciduous trees, mass plantings of rosemary hedges, lavender rows, roses and photinias. Native grasses, bottle brushes, roses, camelias, azaleas, grass lawns and much more have been added to create a beautiful and lush oasis. The garden is a magical place to spend time in the outdoors.
To help plan your visit to the gardens we invite you to check the map on the Bathurst Gardeners’ Club website https://bathurstgardenclub.org.au/bathurst-spring-spectacular/ While there you can purchase your tickets online at $20.00 per person for both days.
